The tablet pc searches were seasonal with the products being tipped as one of the top gifts for Christmas in 2012 so it was of no surprise to us that searches have reduced dramatically
(PRWEB UK) 27 January 2013
Online comparison website Cheapest.co.uk has advised that its top searched for products have moved from tablet pcs quite dramatically. A spokesmen for the company advised that with the Christmas searches having stopped, customers are now searching for items such as kitchen appliances much more.
The current top 6 searches items are detailed as:
- Sony Vaio SVE1511A1E/W Laptop
- ASUS Google Nexus 7 32GB Tablet PC
- Indesit CAA 55 White Fridge
- Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 16GB Tablet PC
- Apple IPad Mini 16GB Tablet PC
- Panasonic NN-E281MMBPQ Toaster
Whilst the Tablet Pc does still make up fifty percent of the top six, just a couple of weeks ago all six products were Tablets.
A spokesmen for the company commented: "The tablet pc searches were seasonal with the products being tipped as one of the top gifts for Christmas in 2012 so it was of no surprise to us that searches have reduced dramatically. The more typical results are now being seen again, the Indesit CAA 55 fridge appeared before Christmas so it's interesting to see that return along with the Panasonic microwave."
"Both these two products (the fridge and microwave) have extremely competitive pricing hence why we thing they are so popular. One of our suppliers is offering the Indesit fridge at one hundred and eight nine pounds compared to another who is charging three hundred and nine pounds, a saving of almost 40%!

On May 4th, 2013, Will Geer's Theatricum Botanicum celebrated its 40th Anniversary by having a fund drive and open house. Will Geer's Theatricum Botanicum is a repertory theatre that has offered thought provoking classics, socially relevant modern plays and educational programs in the natural outdoor sanctuary of Topanga Canyon, California since the early 1970's.
Enthusiastic visitors received guided tours with costumed characters that highlighted the Shakespearean gardens where Will Geer's ashes remain and even got a peak at a company rehearsal with Artistic Director Ellen Geer, daughter of Will Geer.
There were theatre games like stage combat, Elizabethan dance, fencing, and juggling while Academy teachers and students showcased the upcoming theatrical presentations of the 2013 season that includes 5 Repertory Season Plays: Shakespeare's The Taming of The Shrew (June 1- Sept 29 2013) and A Midsummer Nights Dream (June 2-Sept 28 2013.) Ferber and Kaufman's The Royal Family (June 22- Sept 28 2013), Merlin: The Untold Adventures (July 20-Sept 29 2013) and A Celebration of Joyce Carol Oates (Sept 5-Oct 12 2013).
Keeping with the goal of raising $ 400,000, the company is deepening its roots by having its long time members share their vibrant recollections, songs and stories with the community in an event on Friday, July 12th called Theatricum Unmasked: 40 Years of Drama and also on Saturday, Nov 9th at 5pm with a powerful celebrity reading of The Exonerated at Topanga's magical Mermaid Tavern. For more info, please visit: www.theatricum.com or call 310-455-2322
Also in attendance were Hollywood film producers Clinton H. Wallace (Blue Dream) and Christy Oldham (Barracuda).
In 1973, Will Geer, the actor best known for his role as Zeb Walton, the grandpa in the long-running 1970's television series, The Waltons, founded the theatre company with his family. Topanga is an artistic and bohemian community nestled in the beautiful earthy canyon between the 101 freeway and the Pacific Coast Highway.
Born in 1902, Geer pursued a college major in botany through a Master's degree at Columbia, but ultimately gave in to his need to perform. Starting with touring company tent shows and river boats, his six-decade career included Broadway, movies, and television. He was also a political agitator and folksinger. He toured U.S. government work camps in the 1930s, singing with Woody Guthrie and Burl Ives. He was also blacklisted during the McCarthy era for refusing to testify before the House Committee on Un-American Affairs. In 1951, he formed the "Theatricum Botanicum," where he not only coached actors but also encouraged outdoor philosophical discussion and, of course, folksinging. At his deathbed, his family sang "This Land Is Your Land" and recited Robert Frost poems.
ELLEN GEER has been Artistic Director for the Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum since 1978. She has produced and directed over 40 productions including the works of Shakespeare, Tennessee Williams, Chekhov, Thornton Wilder and the classics of Greek literature. In addition, she has also worked in film and television (Harold and Maude, Patriot Games, Clear and Present Danger) and has received numerous awards for her work at Theatricum and in the community including a Los AngelesCounty "Woman of the Year" award.
"To elevate, educate and entertain audiences of all ages by presenting thought-provoking classics, socially relevant plays, and education programs in a beautiful, natural outdoor sanctuary for the arts. By passing on a sense of history to young people and adults alike, great works of art inform their present and inspire their future. A true renaissance theatre, we offer (at affordable prices) a diversity of programming from Shakespeare to poetry to folk music to the development of future playwrights – all to help understand the world we live in and to embrace our shared humanity." –Will Geer

Ndamukong Suh has been in another car accident.
Dearborn, Mich., police confirmed Thursday to NFL.com and NFL Network that the Detroit Lions' beleaguered defensive tackle was involved in a minor fender-bender. There were no injuries, and no alcohol and no drugs were involved, according to police.
Stephen Vines, who spoke to a few Detroit media outlets, accused Suh of sideswiping his car, then leaving the scene.
"What it comes down to is it was an arrogance thing in my eyes," Vines told told Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. "It was just pure arrogance. 'Get out of my way or I'm going to make you move,' and then, 'I'm too good to sit here and wait.' "
The Lions released a statement Thursday night regarding the incident: "We are aware of the reports involving Ndamukong Suh. Since this is a traffic incident, we will defer any comments to the local law enforcement agency that filed a report on the incident this morning."
Suh also is facing a lawsuit over injuries suffered during a 2011 wreck in his hometown of Portland, Ore.
Vines told the Free Press he just wants his car fixed and an apology from Suh, who's had a tough week.
UPDATE: The Dearborn Police Dept. has completed its investigation of the incident and said Suh will not be charged. Fault for the accident could not be determined, an officer with the department said.Follow Gregg Rosenthal on Twitter @greggrosenthal.

Today brought one of the strangest views from the High Line yet: A few of us were up on the site this afternoon to see how it was faring in the frigid weather, when we caught a chilling glimpse of the US Airways plane that crashed into the icy Hudson today. (Amazingly, even in the sub-freezing temperatures, there are no fatalities reported.)
Emergency vehicles-- on the land, in the air and in the river-- swarmed around the mostly-submerged plane, which by that time had been evacuated of all passengers and crew. While we watched, tugboats were able to pull the waterlogged jet's nose and one of its wings above the freezing river.

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Israel's ambassador to Poland opened a 3-D show of Warsaw ghetto photos on Wednesday as part of observances marking the 70th anniversary of the ghetto's ill-fated revolt against Nazi Germans.
The 48 pictures shown at Warsaw's Fotoplastikon are images of people walking or begging in the streets, street vendors, German troops and the Jewish cemetery.
Most of them were taken between 1940, when the ghetto was set up, and 1945, when almost nothing remained of Warsaw's Jewish district. Some of the images are very poignant, like one of a boy searching for lice in his clothes.
Ambassador Zvi Rav-Ner said the photos are proof of the immense suffering of the Jews in the ghetto and a warning against nationalist violence.
"It is very important that these pictures show how it really was, how they all suffered," Rav-Ner said in Polish. "And then there was this great heroism. This was the first uprising against the Nazis in occupied Europe."
On April 19, 1943, a few hundred poorly armed Jews put up resistance to the German forces, who were sending ghetto residents to death camps. The revolt was crushed in May, and the ghetto was razed to the ground, its residents killed.
The two-dimensional photos were supplied by the family of Polish resistance photographer Stefan Baginski and turned into stereoscopic images that, when viewed through binoculars, offer a 3-D effect. Some of the photos were taken by German soldiers and some by a Polish photographer, Mieczyslaw Bil-Bilazewski, who apparently worked for both the Nazi occupiers and the Polish resistance.
The show was organized by the Warsaw Rising Museum as part of observances marking the ghetto revolt anniversary. The 1944 Warsaw uprising was a separate city-wide revolt.
Museum Director Jan Oldakowski said the two uprisings are often confused: the ghetto revolt being better known in the world, the Warsaw-wide uprising better known in Poland.
"They are both the heritage of Warsaw, and this is what we want to say through this picture show," Oldakowski said.
Earlier Wednesday, Poland's parliament adopted a resolution honoring those who suffered and died in the ghetto. It "pays homage to the victims and heroes of the uprising whose courage and sacrifice have earned admiration, respect and the memory of generations that came after them."
State observances will be led by President Bronislaw Komorowski on Friday.

ADHD & Your Child
ADHD is a treatable medical condition. Its exact cause is unknown, but it's believed in part to be the result of an imbalance in chemical messengers that affect behavior. Genetic and environmental factors may also play a role in ADHD. ADHD may impact your child in different settings (at home, at school, and in social situations). And, as your child gets older, ADHD symptoms may look different over time.
Curious about ADHD? Or has your child received an ADHD diagnosis? Either way it is important to talk to your doctor. Visit Getting Started to find helpful information and plan for your visit to the Doctor by reviewing the ADHD Doctor Discussion Guide.

Skip to comments.(Commie-Soviet Mad Science) The Man Who Tried to Make Human-Ape Hybrids
Posted on 06/14/2013 8:37:29 PM PDT by DogByte6RER
The man who tried to make human-ape hybrids
Ilya Ivanovich Ivanov was a gifted scientist, a dedicated conservationist, and a practical, grounded man who expanded everyone's understanding of animal husbandry. He also, for years, tried to make human-ape hybrids.
The post-revolution USSR was a nation that wanted to wholly embrace new technology and progressive science while reinforcing traditional nationalistic pride. It's no wonder that Ilya Ivanovic Ivanov fit right in. He was a biologist who wanted to split his talents evenly between innovation and preservation.
Ivanov got a lot of Soviet and international support because he'd been doing useful work for well over a decade when the revolutions came. In 1901, he'd set up a zoological station that examined exactly how animals, especially farm animals, reproduced. It's true that people had gotten the mechanics of the act down, but Ivanov studied the many hormones, processes, and secretions that went along with sex in order to see what exactly was necessary for conception. When he determined that all anyone really needed was a sperm and an egg, he found ways to extract, disinfect, and store animal semen. This might seem like a small thing, but much of the farming industry now runs using artificial insemination. Even during Ivanov's lifetime, millions of animals were selectively bred using these techniques.
And he wasn't just breeding farm animals. Ivanov used selective breeding and artificial insemination as techniques to preserve endangered species, such as the wisent - a kind of bison - and a local subspecies of horse. So when he did an occasional loony thing, like cross-species breeding solely to see what the results would be, he wasn't criticized. People just noted that zebras, donkeys, and horses could all interbreed. When, in 1910, at the World Congress of Zoologists, Ivanov described the idea of using artificial insemination to create human-chimpanzee hybrids to an auditorium full of what must have been some very uncomfortable scientists, some people actually were supportive.
In fact, in 1924, Ivanov obtained the support of Nikolai Petrovich Gorbunov, the head of the Department of Scientific Institutions, and started traveling around the world to find subjects for exactly this type of experiment. It was relatively hard to obtain chimpanzees of any kind, and so Ivanov made quite a few failed trips before finally capturing a wild group of thirteen female chimpanzees to bring back to a primate research facility at Sukhumi. The female chimpanzees were repeatedly injected with human male sperm, but none became pregnant. (It was rumored that Ivanov used his own sperm or that of his son, but few people believe it.)
In 1927, discouraged by his first efforts, Ivanov put together a plan to inject male chimpanzee sperm into human female volunteers. He said they would need no less than five female volunteers, and that these volunteers would have to stay in isolation for a time to ensure no risk of impregnation by actual human males. It was at this time that rumors started leaking out about the experiments, though most were dismissed as too ghoulish to be believed. The rumors might have hampered Ivanov's efforts to obtain a male adult chimpanzee. He was still waiting for one in 1930, when the political mood turned against him. He was arrested and sent to what is now Kazakhstan to work at a veterinary station until he died of a stroke two years later. Some say that at least one woman was injected with chimpanzee sperm, but that no pregnancy resulted. This, however, is another rumor.
The Sukhumi primate research center survived the political fiasco, and continued to operate into the 2000s. Unfortunately, lack of repair led to multiple break-outs of primates. Locals in the area report seeing monkeys in the trees. Some monkeys may even have been the descendants of those early experiments.
There are a lot of crazy Russian experiments...some actually paid off...most didn't.
If you dig into the Chernobyle accident, you eventually discover that too...was an experiment...over the diesel engine that would commonly be used to bring the plant down to a stable non-op situation when the recommended maintenance had to occur. Few newspapers ever bring this, or grasp why a diesel engine experiment was the cause for the nuclear accident. Just a crazy experiment...approved at national level.
Let me guess....
He was boinking the apes?

Hartsville, S.C. – The Lady Cobras soccer team nearly picked up their first win of the 2009 season on Thursday night, but a couple of fingertip saves by Mount Olive goalkeeper Lyndsey McIntyre (Leesburg, Va.) secured the 3-2 win for the Trojans. The win give the Mount Olive their first Conference Carolinas win of the season and improves them to 3-3-1 overall and 1-0 in the conference, while Coker falls to 0-5 overall and 0-1 in the conference.
Coker was first to notch a goal just six minutes into the game, as Bridget Clark (Irmo, S.C.) sent Sarah Kinsey (Windermere, Fla.) a cross into the box that Kinsey put home with a one-timer pas t the keeper. The Trojans evened things at one apiece with an unassisted goal from Lindsey Stanley (Eastover, N.C.) in the 24th minute and then a goal in the 32nd minute from Nia Celata (Fayetteville, N.C.) on an assist from Mary Knepp (Severna Park, Md.) gave Mount Olive the 2-1 lead at the half.
The Trojans quickly gave themselves some breathing room in the second half, thanks to a breakaway goal by Tia Rose in the 55th minute. The Lady Cobras were not ready to toss in the towel just yet, and in the 72nd minute Jill Giguere (Myrtle Beach, S.C.) blasted a shot from 30 yards out to pull the game within one.
In the stretch the Lady Cobras continued to press the Trojan defense and it was McIntyre's two saves that held the Mount Olive lead and eventually led to the win.
Coker goalkeeper Margaret McCoy (Columbia, S.C.) had some big saves of her own, stopping eight shots and winning more than her fair share of challenges in the box.
Coker returns to action on Saturday, as they travel to Due West, S.C. to face Erskine College in their second conference match of the week. Kick-off is slated for 2:00 p.m.

Erin Shirreff's interest in in-between states and focus on formal characteristics—volume, shape, and dimension—influence her sculptures, photographs, and videos. Her works often feature abstract, geometric forms or images of representational elements, such as abandoned architectural structures, rendered semi-abstract by the artist's framing and presentation. In many of her compositions, Shirreff blurs the lines between two- and three-dimensional space, and wholeness and incompleteness. Her sculptures consist of variously arranged planes, which appear to shift—expanding and flattening—when viewed from different angles. In her photographs, she pieces together images of disparate sculptural forms, demonstrating that sculpture can be crafted in two dimensions. All of Shirreff's work reflects her interest in the openness of objects and undefined situations—a state she describes as a "wonderful zone of possibility."

I will have to write a blog post to go into this in more detail later, but I think a lot of what has been written here is wrong. Y'all started under the assumptions that:
- The flight model is going to be too expensive to run on AI planes and
- A table based flight model would be faster.
(I should mention at this point that I am unaware of any "dumbing down" features in the FM right now. My understanding is that we will pre-process control inputs in a number of ways, and the frequency of the FM can be set to multiples of the framerate, but even at the lowest setting, we do a full physics integration and the plane is the sum of the physics that are applied to it. I mention this now because I am about to speculate on some optimizations that _could_ dumb down the physics model, and I want to make clear that shipping X-Plane 9 does not do this!!)
Here's the short version:
The most expensive part of the flight model is ground interaction - that is, the flight model doing collision checking with the ground and various parts of the airplane. When an airplane is "clearly in the air" (e.g. an initial test shows it has high altitude) the FM isn't very expensive; when it is near the ground, CPU time cranks up as we make sure to get the touch-down characteristics just right; same with taxiing.
So if we want to make the FM faster, there's really only one place to attack: ground interactions - it's the lions share of CPU time. There are a number of simple things we could do to improve ground interaction. For example, we could stop checking for body scrapes - since X-Plane has to handle physics correctly even if the user lands gear up and scrapes an engine, the sim normally tests the full geometry of the plane against the ground (which is not flat, even at an airport) - that adds up. If we are willing to trust that the AI planes don't screw up a landing* we could cut down ground check to only real landing gear, which would improve performance.
Now what if we did some kind of 'lo-fi' AI, whether it's table based or it simply says "move the plane forward by this much" (E.g. a sort of track-based system)? If we want the airplanes to 'sit' properly on the non-flat airport surfaces, we _still_ need to do the most expensive part of the FM - the wheel-ground collision checks. So the total savings of a 'lo-fi' AI flight model would be very small, because at best we might partly improve the performance of code that doesn't have much impact on the sim.
(To understand why you can only boost performance by attacking the biggest pigs, see here.)
However, there would be a pretty huge cost to a lo-fi flight model: we would have to code a SECOND implementation of pretty much everything we already do in the real flight model! We would have to have new flight model files to support this new alternate flight model. The opportunity cost here is in developer time...the time spent building a separate flight model could have been spent performance-tuning the real flight model...even if we had a second flight model, performance tuning time would now be divided between the two flight models, and neither would reach its optimal performance.
Besides my explanation above of why a lo-fi flight model wouldn't really be a win, two more comments:
In software development, it often pays to try the simplest thing first, see how it works, and go from there, rather than speculate how a system may perform and write a ton of code up front before you have real data. This is what we are doing...the simplest thing we can do is to run the real FM on the AI planes, and so far it looks like it's going to work reasonably. IF we hit data that says "no we have to do something radical", then we will...when the data says so, and no sooner. So far indications are that the real FM is going to be fine, and this makes sense from what we know about its performance characteristics. We also know that we have a lot of tricks we could pull to make the real FM faster for AI planes (e.g. removing engine scrape-checks, per above) before we have to go and write a whole new FM.
And finally, dude, the real FM looks good. With the real FM, the AI planes move the way big heavy airplanes should move. They track the ground perfectly. If the ground has a bump and the airplane's suspension is loose, it sways like it should. The control surfaces deploy with their real time. When you're at an airport performing ground ops, you can get really close to the AI planes, and at that point these things matter! I speculate: once you take follow an AI plane running the real FM on the ground, it'll be hard to go back to a 'synthetic' FM.
* This may not be a safe assumption...what if a microburst hits an AI plane?

Tailgating On The Hill
Tailgating is as much a tradition at Mean Green football games as any other university, and North Texas took tailgating into account when it constructed Apogee Stadium, setting aside an area just outside the stadium for students, fans and alumni to gather before games.
The Hill is a gentle rise dotted with trees, lying just outside the east entrance to the stadium and north of the Victory Hall parking lot. The Radisson Hotel once sat atop its summit, and its south slope was part of Eagle Point Golf Course, a Don January-designed course. Unfortunately, the course had deteriorated to a point where recovery would have been prohibitively expensive and its use had dwindled.
To bring the site back to life, North Texas did extensive landscaping of its par-72 fairways, planting trees and building a walkway leading from North Texas Blvd., over a water hazard reclaimed as a duck pond, along the base of the Hill, and into the stadium.
Beginning in 2011, golf pros made way for grill masters, and the angry snapping of four irons over knees was replaced by the hungry breaking of bread over cold drinks.
On game days, tents and awnings, grills and coolers, televisions and wandering musicians spring up along the walkway and the path that snakes its way up the Hill. By mid-morning, lawn-chair chefs have wreathed the area in the aroma of roasting meat. Tables laden with side dishes and sauces - even the occasional vegetable that wandered too close - are set upon by hordes of green-clad diners.
Then it's time for some Mean Green football. There's just no better way to spend an afternoon.

Published with the aim of highlighting to EU member countries the areas which they ought to focus on improving, the European Commission has released its 2018 ranking on innovation in Europe .
The commissioner for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs Elzbieta Biénkowska commented on the rankings in a
Angara Ruby Diamond Dangling Necklace in 14k White Gold ffqSRYdtHz
, saying: "The 2018 scoreboard shows again that Europe has a wealth of talent and entrepreneurial spirit, but we must do better at turning this excellence into success."
Although Europe has managed to maintain its footing in terms of world innovation, China is fast closing the gap, with its rate of innovation growing up to three times faster than that of the EU. To produce the ranking, the Commission gives points based on a number of factors — including whether the country has an "innovation-friendly environment", a country's human capital, public expenditure on innovation and related investments made by private companies.
Below you can see Europe's 20 most innovative countries, ranked from least innovative to most according to the innovation points assigned to them by the European Commission.

Another breed that hates to be left alone, according to
Lulu Frost Jackie Web Dangling Earrings 3XET4R
, these low-slung droolers can cause a lot of destruction. The males are particularly hard to housebreak, which can ruin your carpets in no time.
If you leave your basset hound alone not only will he likely howl, he'll chew on anything in sight. In addition, these dogs are diggers, so make sure you set up a designated dig space for him.

Whippets can be destructive and mischievous, according to

, And they pretty much insist on being up on the furniture. Because whippets love to run, it's essential to give them a heapin' helpin' of daily exercise. Once you meet their intense exercise needs, they are generally quiet, calm dogs.

When a website like
Angara Vintage Inspired Diamond Halo Cushion Citrine Ring in Rose Gold kgPBrTh
claims an English setter "must not be left alone all day without the company of people or other pets," it's a definite red flag. This breed becomes quite destructive, venting frustration through barking and chewing. In addition, this breed sheds heavily and is difficult to housebreak.

Jim Young, DVM, posted on his website that bulldogs don't do well when they're left alone. Sounds like a familiar tune here. When left alone, Young says, they can be very destructive.
Because bulldogs are sensitive to heat, it's a bad idea to keep them outside when it's hot — instead, stay with them inside. In Young's words, it's "nearly impossible to lavish too much love and attention on a Bulldog."

Who woulda thunk these cute, lil wiener dogs could wreak havoc? Apparently, plenty of people who own them.
According to the
Fine Jewelry Womens 1/2 CT TW White Diamond 14K Gold Pendant Necklace ICpeuCEXAX
, it is part of the breed's genetic makeup to dig and chew. Dachshunds have a very high energy level, which can turn into destructive behavior easily. Even if you give this breed lots of playtime and exercise, you might need to consult a dog training expert to help prevent your dachshund from creating chaos.
"I've actually never heard of someone doing this. And I'm not sure that it excites us a whole lot, to be perfectly candid," he said.
The Residential Tenancy Act doesn'tprohibit landlords from accepting gifts, but Hutniaksaid he would discourage it.
"Everyone applying for a unit should be on equal footing," he said. "[Landlords]should simply say, 'Thanks, but no thanks.'"
However, the tenancy act also defines rent as a value,Sakamoto noted.
That can apply in cases where tenants get their rent reduced in exchange for caretaking services or sprucing up their units, he said.
"It shows that rent can simply be more than money."
No landlords have snapped up the tickets yet, but Olafioyehas been fielding multiple offers since posting online.
We will have a 2 bedroom place in Port Moody available -- comes with a community pool and rec centre, near Skytrain, walking trails, Rocky Point Park. Furnished too (although we'd have to change some things in the 2nd bedroom for the kidlets) DM me.

"I didn't want to do it in anegative way. I just needed some help," he said.
"I'vebeen out here for alongtime and done really good for the B.C.Lions and always been a good person to the community. I thought Icoulduse that to my advantage to try to get a place."
He said many otherplayers areliving in hotels, which the leagueoffers at a discounted rate or are settlingin Airbnbs.
But Olafioye is desperate to find a stable place for his family.
What's his deadline? "Yesterday," he laughed.

City police and area communities cite better transmitting and receiving as benefits from the new tower.
WATERVILLE — The 140-foot-tall radio communications tower next to the Police Department on Colby Street is fully functional, affording a much higher quality dispatching service not only for city police and fire, but also for eight other communities and Delta Ambulance.
"It is completely operational," police Chief Joseph Massey said of the tower. "It's working absolutely fantastic. We're now able to both transmit and receive our radio communications for this station to the cars, to all the communities out there, and it is just so much better than we had before, obviously."
The city provides dispatching services for police and fire for Waterville, Winslow, Oakland and Clinton and fire for Sidney, Albion, Belgrade, China and Rome. Waterville also dispatches for Delta Ambulance.
"All our customers have given us feedback," Massey said. "The signal is stronger, the clarity is much better. It's a huge improvement. There's just no question about it. All the antennas are brand new."
The new tower also has improved communications for officers using small, portable radios on their belts, according to Massey. In the past, for instance, an officer on foot traversing hilly terrain or moving around buildings or other obstructions had difficulty sometimes transmitting or receiving on their portable radios, but now they can go anywhere in the city and experience a better, stronger signal, he said.

Landscape is a term that has possessed a variety of related definitions in the past. At Sculpture Center's group exhibition, Degrees of Remove: Landscape and Affect, landscape is "as an interpreted notion of space." The exhibit questions how perceptions of landscape have changed since technology has made it possible to engage in landscapes far removed from our physical locations– or if we can really engage in them at all. Curated by Sarina Basta and Fionn Meade, the exhibition will run until the end of this month and has a corresponding film series at Anthology Film Archives.
Located in the basement floor of the Sculpture Center, the exhibit is experienced through four separated hallways that allows visitors to contemplate pieces in a sort of dis-jointed sequence. Through a variety of media, each artist tells his own narrative and point of view.
In Cyprien Gaillard's Colour Like No Other, three perspectives of the same building demolition proves how different interpretations can be possible for one action. In a Sony ad campaign, the building is a stage for a theatrical show where bursts of paint shoot out of the building while dramatic music plays. However, a framed press release with a single, static image and a black-and-white film that features the building in its urban context offer two more sobering views on the building's demolition. The clip of the Sony campaign can be viewed here.
Marie Jager offers two pieces that offers some insight into Los Angeles' car culture. L.A. Painting (starter) seems simple enough: a white canvas marked only by the exhaust created by starting a car engine. Can this loosely be considered a landscape painting? It shows no physical space, but rather is the record of a specific region's culture.
An examination on how we perceive both landscapes of the past and the present, Degrees of Remove asks how we perceive landscapes near and afar in the face of ever-increasing technology.

This handy little ruler from the Gear Squad has been made available to help you properly identify your drive shaft u-joints.
Simply place the ruler's notched end against the tab end of your yoke, see where the ruler falls against the opposite tab, and that will identify your yoke.
To measure your u-joint, place the tab end against the u-joint cup squarely and view size at opposite cup. Due to age and wear, the caps may not be exactly on the line but very close.

Mitchell Zuckoff
Lost in Shangri-La
Mitchell Zuckoff
Lost in Shangri-La
A True Story of Survival, Adventure, and the Most
Release Date: 5/1/2011
LIST PRICE: $26.99 (you save $5.40)
Main description:
On May 13, 1945, twenty-four American servicemen and WACs boarded a transport plane for a sightseeing trip over "Shangri-La," a beautiful and mysterious valley deep within the jungle-covered mountains of Dutch New Guinea.Unlike the peaceful Tibetan monks of James Hilton's bestselling novel Lost Horizon, this Shangri-La was home to spear-carrying tribesmen, warriors rumored to be cannibals.
But the pleasure tour became an unforgettable battle for survival when the plane crashed. Miraculously, three passengers pulled through. Margaret Hastings, barefoot and burned, had no choice but to wear her dead best friend's shoes. John McCollom, grieving the death of his twin brother also aboard the plane, masked his grief with stoicism. Kenneth Decker, too, was severely burned and suffered a gaping head wound.
Emotionally devastated, badly injured, and vulnerable to the hidden dangers of the jungle, the trio faced certain death unless they left the crash site. Caught between man-eating headhunters and enemy Japanese, the wounded passengers endured a harrowing hike down the mountainside—a journey into the unknown that would lead them straight into a primitive tribe of superstitious natives who had never before seen a white man—or woman.
Drawn from interviews, declassified U.S. Army documents, personal photos and mementos, a survivor's diary, a rescuer's journal, and original film footage, Lost in Shangri-La recounts this incredible true-life adventure for the first time. Mitchell Zuckoff reveals how the determined trio—dehydrated, sick, and in pain—traversed the dense jungle to find help; how a brave band of paratroopers risked their own lives to save the survivors; and how a cowboy colonel attempted a previously untested rescue mission to get them out.
By trekking into the New Guinea jungle, visiting remote villages, and rediscovering the crash site, Zuckoff also captures the contemporary natives' remembrances of the long-ago day when strange creatures fell from the sky. A riveting work of narrative nonfiction that vividly brings to life an odyssey at times terrifying, enlightening, and comic, Lost in Shangri-La is a thrill ride from beginning to end.

Review quote:

Review quote:
"Zuckoff delivers a remarkable survival story. . . . In this well-crafted book, Zuckoff turns the long-forgotten episode into an unusually exciting narrative. . . . Polished, fast-paced and immensely readableready for the big screen."

In a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sugar and water and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring often. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is a deep caramel color and has the consistency of thin syrup, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in the cream, return the saucepan to high heat, and boil the sauce until it regains the consistency of a thick syrup, about 2 minutes. Cool.
The sauce can be refrigerated until ready to use. Allow it to reach room temperature before drizzling it over the pie.
Combine the half-and-half and butter in a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Heat the mixture until a thin paperlike skin appears on the top. Do not boil. Add the chocolate and vanilla and stir until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth.
Remove from the heat and let cool.
The sauce can be kept refrigerated for several days, but must be returned to room temperature before serving.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
To prepare custard filling, in a mixing bowl, combine the egg yolks, cornstarch, and 1 cup of the heavy cream. Whisk to blend well. Set aside. Combine the remaining 2 cups cream, the sugar, and the vanilla bean in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Whisk to dissolve the sugar and bring to a gentle boil, about 10 minutes. Slowly add the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly until it thickens, about 5 minutes. Be forewarned: this mixture must break and look curdled otherwise it will not set up properly and it will be runny. Pour it into a glass bowl. Press a piece of plastic wrap down over the surface of the mixture to prevent a skin from forming. Let cool completely at room temperature. When cooled, remove the vanilla bean and pour the mixture into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a wire whip. Beat at medium speed to combine the mixture. If it will not combine, warm another 1/2 cup heavy cream and slowly add it to the mixture. Whip until you have a thick and creamy custard.
To prepare pie crust, in a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and mashed banana. Mix thoroughly. Add the butter and mix well. Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie pan. Bake until browned, about 25 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and cool, for about 10 minutes. To assemble, spread about 1/2 cup of the custard on the bottom of the crust. Arrange about a third of the banana slices, crowding them close together, over the custard. Next, spread 1 cup of the custard over the bananas. Arrange another third of the banana slices close together over the custard. Top with 1 cup of the custard and the banana slices. Top with the remaining custard, covering the bananas completely to prevent them from turning brown. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 4 hours. Cut the pie into wedges and serve with a drizzle of caramel and chocolate sauce. Top with the whipped cream and shaved chocolate. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

The Library Books are Coming Home
The first semi truck load of books returned home on July 19 to the G. Allen Fleece Library at Columbia International University, from their temporary housing in Atlanta. The books were cleaned and restored in Georgia following a May 2010 fire at the library.
As the books are unloaded off the truck, they are unpacked in a temporary tent outside the library, put on book carts, and wheeled into the library where they are being processed before they are put on the shelf.
The William B. Meyer Company of Massachusetts has hired temporary workers, including CIU students to do much of the work. CIU Library Director Jo Ann Rhodes is asking for prayer for the workers, especially for those who are working in the temporary tent as temperatures in Columbia are around 100 degrees.
The pallets of boxes will be unloaded every other day off the semis. There are 20 books to a box, with about 6,000 boxes to be unloaded and unpacked.
Rhodes expects the process to take about four weeks. She says because renovation of the library entrance continues, the library will likely open to students in September, a few weeks after fall classes begin.

Rowan County group offers gun training to teachers
Rowan County group offers gun training to teachers
Teachers who want to know about firearms got their chance this weekend in Rowan County.
The Salisbury Post reported that the Rowan County Wildlife Association offered free classes in firearms instructions in case legislators approve bill to let teachers carry guns.
About 30 teachers and administrators from Rowan, Davidson, Cabarrus and Mecklenburg counties took the class Saturday.
The course is the first step in obtaining a permit to carry a concealed weapon. Another class will be held March 9 at the Rowan County Wildlife Association in Salisbury.
Schools across the U.S. have been looking at security after the attack Dec. 14, 2012, at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., that left 20 children and six workers dead.

ERIN: This is some pictures of my dad. This one was taken in Colorado. This one was in St. Louis. And then there's this one where we were in Germany, where I was born.
BUSTER: Wait, did you say Germany?
ERIN: Yep, I was born in Germany.
BUSTER: What were you doing there?
ERIN: My dad's in the army, and so we move a lot.
BUSTER: Do you like to move?
ERIN: I like going to new places, but I don't like moving, because then I've got to leave my school, then I've got to leave my friends, and it's like, "oh." And every time we leave, my list of people to keep in touch with just keeps growing, so it's like I've got all these people I've got to write letters, e-mail, all that, and I have no time.
BUSTER: Oh, yeah. I didn't think of that.
ERIN'S MOTHER: Okay. Just a minute. Erin, Papa's on the phone.
ERIN: Okay. Hi.
BUSTER: Is that your dad?
ERIN: Yeah.
BUSTER: Wow, he's calling all the way from Iraq!
ERIN: I miss you, too.
BUSTER: Oh, tell him about the case!
ERIN: Today, I'm hopefully going to help Buster solve a little bit of a mystery. Well, Buster lost his… Carlos' Coin of Excellence. He wanted to borrow it a little, and he lost it, and so I'm going to help him find it, hopefully. I love you, too. Did you want to talk to Mom? Okay.
ERIN'S MOTHER: Okay, babe. Okay. Take care and be safe. I love you, too. Bye. Buster, that was Steve, Erin's dad.
ERIN: He said that there was a sandstorm all day.
ERIN'S MOTHER: Did he?
ERIN: And that it was really, really, really windy.
BUSTER: I bet you wish you could talk to him in person instead.
ERIN'S MOTHER: Yeah. We're happy to talk to him, but then we're sad, too.
ERIN'S MOTHER: Because we remember we miss him.

Bronys...there's a ton of them over on the transformer site I post on. I've actually tried watching the show but I just don't get it.
Did anyone catch "Collection Intervention" last night on SyFy? I DVRd it and got a chance to watch it this morning, sort of interesting. The first episode focuses on a Star Wars collector (as well as a Catwoman collector), and it deals with "managing" a collection and keeping it from an obsession. Basically, they get them to sell some things off and come to terms with letting a collection take over their life. Anyways, a good watch, but maybe not for your wife/husband/significant other . It looks like it is being replayed several times over the next week or so. The Star Wars portion ends up at Rancho Obi-Wan, which was kind of neat (and they do have a pretty impressive SW collection).
Did they make Sansweet sell of some of his collection?
I just watched it online: Disturbance in the ForceMust say that was a big I need a puke icon here, let alone staged! Consetta Parker <-------------------- See that link to the left, have a good clicky! Oy!
I like "Toy Hunters", butI think the "Collection Intervention" show was bad. The host's view on collecting, I think, is horrible.
